Chapter 153
"Let's go to the Space-Time Observation Tower and ask when the next strange road will be opened."
After seeing the weirdness of the Chaos Sea, Cheng Yu didn't want to stay here anymore and walked towards the black tower not far away.
This black stone tower is made of unknown stone. The light is absorbed by the stone tower and will not be reflected outward. It is 24K pure black.
From a distance, the Space-Time Observation Tower looks like a black hole in the shape of a lighthouse in space.
When we arrived at the Space-Time Observation Tower, the beautiful receptionist at the entrance smiled and said, "Welcome to the Space-Time Observation Tower. Do you want to know when the next strange road will be opened?"
Ninety percent of the people who come to the Space-Time Observation Tower come to ask when the next strange road will be opened.
The receptionist guessed Cheng Yu's intention.
"Yes, that's right."
"Under normal circumstances, the opening time of the Qilu will be announced one day in advance. If you want to know the specific opening time of the Qilu now, you need to pay three gold coins."
"If I know the specific opening time of the Qilu and sell the news to others, can I earn back the three gold coins?"
"You can try."
The beautiful receptionist smiled and was not worried that Cheng Yu would leak the specific time.
Three gold coins were not expensive. Cheng Yu was too lazy to think so much and took out three gold coins to give to the beautiful receptionist.
"Please come in."
The beautiful receptionist bent slightly and made a "please" gesture. Her service attitude was still very good.
Walking into the space-time observation tower, there was a small room of more than ten square meters. There was an ancient oil lamp hanging on the top of the room, and some books were placed on the wall.
The old man in a black magic robe sat in front of the counter, reading a novel idly.
"Old sir, let me ask about the specific opening time of the Qilu next time." Cheng Yu walked over and asked the old man.
Putting down the novel in his hand, the old man in black robe glanced at Cheng Yu, and then looked at Mei Weier beside Cheng Yu. He seemed to be quite rich as he could afford the dragon lady.
"Follow me."
The old man in black robe opened the small door beside him, took Cheng Yu through a small dark passage, and came to the door of a room.
"You can go in, but she can't."
The old man in black robe pointed at Mei Weier beside Cheng Yu.
"Mei Weier, wait for me here."
"Hmph~"
Mei Weier snorted, said nothing, and stood at the door waiting for Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu followed the old man in black robe into the room, where an unknown circular magic circle was drawn on the floor.
"Stand in the middle of the magic circle, I will activate the magic circle, and you will know the specific time when the strange road is opened." The old man in black robe said.
"Can't you just tell me directly? Do you still need a magic circle?"
Cheng Yu was puzzled.
"This is a magic circle of lies. When you want to express the specific opening time of the strange road, you will unconsciously convey the wrong information. It is a confidentiality measure of our space-time observation tower." The old man in black robe explained.
"Your space-time observation tower is really painstaking to make money."
No wonder the receptionist outside just now was not worried that he would leak the specific opening time of the strange road.
"Who would complain about too much money?" The old man in black robe smiled.
Of course, the more money, the better.
"Let's start."
Cheng Yu stood in the middle of the magic circle. The old man in black robe held the magic wand and silently chanted a spell to activate the magic circle on the ground.
The magic circle pattern showed a white glow.
The next moment, a voice sounded in Cheng Yu's mind, "The next opening time of the strange road is 9:3 am on November 22, and the end time is 3:46 pm on November 27."
This sentence is like engraved in Cheng Yu's mind, making Cheng Yu unable to forget it.
Calculating the time, there are still 112 days before the next opening of the strange road, and the opening time is six days.
"Tell me, when is the specific time of the opening of the strange road." The old man asked Cheng Yu.
"December 4th, 6:08 pm." Cheng Yu blurted out.
Wanted to say the correct time, but expressed a wrong time.
"How many days are there before the next opening of the strange road?" The old man changed his way of asking.
"There are still sixty days." Cheng Yu blurted out again.
"This is the magic of lies. When it comes to the specific opening time of the strange road, you will be affected by the magic and express wrong information."
"What if I write it out with a pen?"
"Writing it out is also wrong."
The main way for humans to convey their inner thoughts is to speak and write. The correct time exists in Cheng Yu's mind. When he wants to express the correct time, he will express wrong information.
"Okay."
Cheng Yu didn't intend to make money from this information. He just knew it himself.
"Our time and space observation tower also provides special services. Do you want to experience it?" The old man in black robe asked Cheng Yu.
"What special service?"
"You only need to spend ten gold coins to"Is it novel to see your childhood pictures?"
"How do you see it?"
Cheng Yu was indeed a little curious.
"The past history has become an established fact and exists in the long river of history. The space-time mirror in our observation tower can go back along the timeline and see fragments of the past.
"Isn't it interesting for you to see your childhood self now?"
The old man in black robe introduced Cheng Yu, trying to arouse Cheng Yu's interest.
"Haha, I'm not interested at all."
Isn't this just a video and a photo?
There are no cameras on the Celsis continent, so it would be interesting to see your childhood self.
Cheng Yu had seen the videos and photos of his childhood, and he was tired of watching them a long time ago. He had no interest at all and walked straight to the door.
"Don't go, I'll give you a 20% discount, how about it?"
The old man in black robe worked hard to promote his business.
"I'm really not interested."
Cheng Yu walked out of the room.
"50% off, this is already a bargain price."
The old man in black robe continued to promote.
At this time, Cheng Yu saw Mei Weier at the door. He was not interested in his childhood appearance, but he was quite interested in Mei Weier's childhood appearance.
"If it's 50% off, then go and have a look."
Cheng Yu took out five gold coins and gave them to the black-robed old man.
"Follow me."
The black-robed old man smiled happily after getting five gold coins.
He took Cheng Yu and Mei Weier along the stairs to the top of the space-time observation tower.
The space-time observation tower is divided into three sections, the top, the middle, and the bottom. A large observation device is placed on the top, which requires professional observers to operate. Ordinary people are prohibited from entering. Ordinary people can enter and exit the middle and bottom.
The black-robed old man took Cheng Yu to a room in the middle of the space-time observation tower. In the center of the room stood a round stone plate with a diameter of two or three meters, and the surface was polished smooth like a mirror.
"Is this the space-time mirror?"
"This mirror is made of the rock below the Temple of the God of Time and Space. It has the great power to peek into the past, but it can only peek into a small number of fragments at random."
The space-time mirror will not be damaged after one use, so the old man in black robes is selling it hard and giving Cheng Yu a 50% discount, which is equivalent to earning five gold coins for free.
"Meiweier, come and try it."
Cheng Yu asked Meiweier to stand in front of the space-time mirror.
The old man in black robes turned away consciously. This is someone else's privacy, and it is not good to see it together.
Meiweier stood in front of the space-time mirror, and the space-time mirror showed the scene of Meiweier's childhood.
At that time, Meiweier had just broken out of the shell, fat, round, short arms and legs, very cute.
A pair of round eyes looked around the woods, full of curiosity about everything around.
"Xiaolonglong, you were so cute when you were a child."
Cheng Yu touched Meiweier's head.
"Don't use the word cute to describe this dragon. This dragon is super fierce."
Meiweier gnashed her teeth and showed a ferocious expression.
The scene changed.
At this time, Meiweier had grown a little, about two or three meters long, as fat as a ball, and was struggling to climb up the snowy mountain in the wind and snow.
Suddenly, Meiweier's feet slipped, and the whole dragon rolled down the slope of the snowy mountain, and finally rolled down the mountain and turned into a big snowball.
The head, limbs, and tail were exposed outside the snowball.
Puff~
Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing.
"Don't look, don't laugh."
Meiweier said angrily, not expecting that the time-space mirror would trace back such a dark history.
